Can not create new custom post type

Can’t say I’ve ever attempted anything like this specifically, so I’m not going to have details on the nitty gritty of how to achieve this. Something obviously isn’t matching up, and I’m wondering if it’s maybe more related to User Role Editor, than necessarily the post type registration itself, but I’m willing to somehow be wrong there.

What I can say is that i know we have a capability type field that we default to post and this is largely done for backwards compatibility because it was added in many years ago, but the capabilities portion of capabilities customization has never fully been added alongside this.

That said, I know we have a WordPress filter to amend the arguments used for capabilities, the question would be more what, if anything, needs to be included there to make things work for your usecase. That part I don’t know.

• Our CPTUI filter that should map up with the parameters when registering a content type manually: https://github.com/WebDevStudios/custom-post-type-ui/blob/master/custom-post-type-ui.php#L547-L557
• More information about parameters, including items CPTUI may not have a 1:1 mapping for: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/register_post_type/#parameters

Thank you Michael,

I have contacted the YITH plugin authors and the informed me that changes must be done from the CPT UI side.

What I have until now, is that I can click on create a new post, but when I save it I see the error. Also, there are no posts listed on Mine. I can see that there is 1 (the one I submitted) but I can not view or edit.

Is there anything that we can do to acomplish that?

Kind regards,
Nana

Honestly not sure what to suggest with this. I also don’t completely agree with YITH developers in that it’s necessarily a CPTUI issue unless you’ve made any changes around the capability type parameter away from post. A detail that we could verify just by looking at the settings of your CPTUI-registered post types. I suspect you’d have the exact same issue if you used the “Get Code” section of CPTUI to get the registration code to use, to register them without CPTUI. Our plugin is very behind the scenes and once configured, you just don’t need to think about much.

We also still have the topic of User Role Editor usage which we haven’t really touched on too much and what changes have been made there. As an alternative route, I wonder if it’d be at all possible to automate giving vendors the “author” role as well as “vendor” which I assume is a custom role in this case.

Any news on this front @nanakiadim ?
